«Cartas eruditas y curiosas» is the selection of essays by Benito Jerónimo Feijoo, published by Booket in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together a selection of the Cartas eruditas y curiosas, a work with which Feijoo continued the popularising work of his Teatro crítico universal. Throughout the texts he addresses very varied questions with a rationalist spirit and pedagogical intention, and combines the denunciation of superstitions and common errors with the defence of knowledge based on experience and reason. The edition, prepared by Francisco Uzcanga Meinecke, presents Feijoo's texts with critical apparatus and places them in the context of eighteenth-century Spanish Enlightenment thought.
The work belongs to the Clásicos y Modernos collection, of which it is volume 1.
For readers interested in the Spanish Enlightenment, the history of ideas and eighteenth-century critical essay.
